This is a very nice trail system that gradually climbs its way to a ridge line with fantastic views of the Oquirrh mountains and the Salt Lake Valley.
Small trailhead parking area often filled with trucks pulling horse trailers
The entire trail is covered in snow, but it's not very deep. I wore snow boots and that was fine. I didn't need spikes or snow shoes. It's absolutely beautiful! I only saw a couple people on the trail in the places closer to the parking lot. Further out, I was the only one.
took a secondary trail. was very steep but fun and gorgeous views. went on a winter day, so there were few people. i was grateful to have boots with good traction
Pretty! Few people on the mountain with cloudy day. Saw wild turkeys and deer.
Nice trail, although much of the trail is covered in fall leaves making it harder to know where you are. I suggest keeping the all trails map running to avoid getting lost.
Tricky to follow. Be sure to download a map before going. Several offshoots along the way that caused me some detours. Shaded early on, then out in the sun as you get to higher elevation on the trail. Pretty views. I ran on this trail--not too steep for that. I went counter clockwise then clockwise. Not sure one way is better.
great hike, just strenuous enough for a good burn and pretty view at the top.
Did the whole Loop. I’ve done it both in snow and in Fall. Honestly like it MUCH better in the snow. It’s a great snowshoe trail. Not a great hiking trail
Beautiful hike! Came across some cows but the view at the top was absolutely beautiful! It’s a great loop. Has a perfect mix between steep hills and medium relaxing hiking.
One of the best local hikes. Beautifully wooded and shaded at the beginning and end. There are also spectacular views of the Oquirrh & Copper Mountains and the South Valley in the middle. It’s a little rocky in the middle section as well, but overall a nice moderate hike.
